Netbook Computer: Minimum Standards
A netbook is a small, low-powered, inexpensive basic laptop used for secondary computing (by someone who already has a primary desktop or laptop). Typical usage includes web browsing, e-mail, and office applications. Only very basic support is provided for netbooks, and they are considered a low priority. Clients are responsible for contacting the vendor for any warranty service needs (after initial diagnosis by a UCO technician). Any data stored on a netbook will not be backed up or transferred by a UCO technician at any point. No special applications will be installed or supported by a UCO technician on netbooks.
